Willoughby City Council Information Guide | November 2020 |Page 3 2. WILLOUGHBY CITY COUNCIL 2.1 The Willoughby City Council Area Beautiful waterways and foreshores, 425 hectares of public open space including bushland reserves, walking trails and playing fields. One of the biggest retail centres in Australia - with over 700 shops in Chatswood and a pedestrian flow of over 50 million people a year in Chatswood Mall. With 288 km of sealed footpaths and 181 km of roadway, 8.5 km from Sydney CBD, located on key transport, rail and road arteries, Willoughby City has it all. The City covers 23 square kilometres and incorporates the suburbs of Artarmon, Castle Cove, Castlecrag, Chatswood, Middle Cove, Naremburn, Northbridge and Willoughby, as well as parts of Gore Hill, Lane Cove North, St Leonards and Roseville. Willoughby City is a region of contrasts. We have a mix of land uses including industrial, retail, residential and special uses with some of the best schools in NSW. The City’s estimated population in 2018 was 80,339. One in three of our residents is from a non- English speaking background with Chinese, Korean, Indian, Armenian and Japanese backgrounds featuring strongly. Contrasting developments can be seen when travelling throughout the City, ranging from the heritage listed cottages indicative of our forefathers’ homes to the high-rise contemporary developments in the Chatswood Central Business District. 2.2 The elected Council The Council of the City of Willoughby comprises 13 Councillors who are elected by local residents and ratepayers to represent them. Councillors are elected for a fixed term with the next local government elections due on 4 September 2021. The City of Willoughby is divided into four areas called wards. Each ward is represented by three Councillors. The Mayor is popularly-elected and represents the entire area of Willoughby City. The Councillors elected on 9 September 2017 are: MAYOR Gail GILES-GIDNEY MIDDLE HARBOUR NAREMBURN SAILORS BAY WEST WARD WARD WARD WARD Angelo Stuart Hugh Tony ROZOS COPPOCK ERIKSSON MUSTACA Wendy Christine Denis Craig NORTON TUON FERANDEZ CAMPBELL Judith Nick Brandon Lynne RUTHERFORD WRIGHT ZHU SAVILLE Willoughby City Council Information Guide | November 2020 |Page 4 3. CORPORATE IDENTITY OF WILLOUGHBY CITY COUNCIL 3.1 Structure and function of Council Council is a statutory body incorporated under the Local Government Act 1993. The Chief Executive Officer has overall responsibility for managing the staff in the organisation. The staff are arranged in three Divisions to carry out the diverse operations required of a multi- faceted local government organisation. The organisation chart outlines the structure of the organisation showing the three Divisions (see page 6). Council’s functions are set out in Section 8 of the Local Government Act 1993: • "to provide directly or on behalf of other levels of government, after due consultation, adequate, equitable and appropriate services and facilities for the community and to ensure that those services are managed efficiently and effectively. • to exercise community leadership • to exercise its functions with due regard for the cultural and linguistic diversity of its community • to properly manage, develop, protect, restore, enhance and conserve the environment of the area for which it is responsible • to have regard to the long term and cumulative effects of its decisions • to bear in mind that it is the custodian and trustee of the public assets and to effectively account for and manage the assets for which it is responsible • to facilitate the involvement of councillors, members of the public, users of facilities and services and council staff in the development, improvement and co-ordination of local government • to raise funds for local purposes by the fair imposition of rates, charges and fees, by income earned from investments and, when appropriate, by borrowing and grants • to keep the local community and the State Government (and through it, the wider community) informed about its activities • to ensure that, in the exercise of its regulatory functions, it acts consistently and without bias, particularly where an activity of the council is affected • to be a responsible employer."

  • Fact Sheet 13
    ABORIGINAL PEOPLE Fact Sheet no.13 Aboriginal people believe that they have been living in Australia since the beginning of time. Their complex cultural and spiritual connections to the environment and their kinship system have developed through their belief in the Dreaming, which is a time of creation, passed on from generation to generation and still seen today through stories, songs, dances, ceremonies and art. Recent research has determined that Aboriginal people were part of the first wave of modern humans out of Africa. Aboriginal people are thought to have possibly first occupied the Australian continent 60,000 years ago. Radiometric carbon dating also indicates that they were likely to have occupied the Sydney region as early as 40 000 years ago during the time of the last Ice Age. Prior to the European invasion, Aboriginal people in the Willoughby area relied on the marine environments of Sydney Harbour, Broken Bay and the many creeks , rivers and wetlands for much of their food. They also harvested and hunted for food from the surrounding bush. The bush was the supermarket, the hardware shop, the pharmacy and the church. Being self-sufficient, Sydney Aboriginal people had little need to travel far from their lands as the resources in the area were abundant and trade with other clans was well established. Moving throughout their country in accordance with the seasons, Aboriginal people spent only four to five hours per day working to ensure their survival. With such a large amount of leisure time available, they developed a rich and complex ritual life - language, customs, spirituality and the law - the heart of which is the connection between the people, Country and spiritual beliefs.

    4 April 2016 Mr Ian Reynolds Delegate for North Sydney, Willoughby City and Mosman Councils Boundaries Commission Email: [email protected] Dear Sir, Submission re: North Sydney, Willoughby City and Mosman Councils Proposal Thank you for the opportunity to comment on the proposed merger of North Sydney Council, Willoughby City Council and Mosman Council (“the Combined Councils”). We are very appreciative of the opportunity to discuss community issues and concerns and work together to achieve optimal outcomes for the Combined Councils LGA. As an independent association, Artarmon Progress Association, Inc. (APA) considers that it can act as a pathway, not only between council and community, but also between the community and other levels of government whose decisions often impact locally. Overview APA considers that Willoughby City Council should stand alone and not merge with any neighboring councils. We do not see any significant benefits from combining Willoughby, North Sydney and Mosman and therefore do not support the proposed three council merger. If the NSW Government does merge councils by decree, APA would prefer that such a merger reflect the natural people flows within the region as discussed under the Alternative Proposal outlined below, by combining Willoughby, Lane Cove, North Sydney and Mosman into an Expanded Combined Councils LGA with the waterways as the natural boundaries. Artarmon Progress Association Inc www.artarmonprogress.org.au PO Box 540, Artarmon NSW 1570 ABN 77 319 108 019 NORTH SYDNEY, WILLOUGHBY AND MOSMAN MERGER PROPOSAL Comments on Legislative Criteria Based on the Merger Proposal for the Combined Councils, APA offers the following comments and recommendations.

  • Willoughby City Council Western Harbour Tunnel and Warringah Freeway Upgrade Submission to Transport for NSW
    Willoughby City Council Western Harbour Tunnel and Warringah Freeway Upgrade Submission to Transport for NSW Executive Summary The Western Harbour Tunnel and Warringah Freeway Upgrade project is a city shaping project that, if implemented, will have a significant impact on strategic planning for the communities, environments, transport and traffic movements within the Willoughby local area. Council has prepared this submission to identify and convey concerns regarding the impact on Council’s residents, assets and businesses caused by the Western Harbour Tunnel and Warringah Freeway Upgrade project, as detailed in the TfNSW Reference Documents. This submission also identifies issues requiring further clarification, improved accuracy and justification. The State Government is invited to respond to these issues upon receipt of this submission. In summary the issues relate to: • Strategic Planning Matters • Communication and engagement • Northern Beaches Link • Noise and Vibration • Social Impacts • Environment • Traffic and Transport Matters • Design Issues and Improvement Opportunities • Construction Traffic Management The complexity of EIS information was broken down and simplified through the introduction of the EIS guide to reduce the overwhelming extent of information into something more easily digestible. Regardless, residents have raised significant concern about the volume and density of information to be absorbed in a short period of time. Willoughby City Council EIS Submission - Western Harbour Tunnel and Warringah Freeway Upgrade Project It is unfortunate that no consideration has been given to changed consultation arrangements and stakeholder submissions in light of the impact of State and Federal Government advice and legislation arising from the COVID-19 global pandemic. No engagement with Councillors and key Council personnel across the organisation was offered in the lead up to, nor during, the EIS exhibition period.
